[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2935725, member: 68542"] My grandpa at 76 shot a spike that turned out to not be dead, and had a 60 yard rodeo trying to cut its throat with his like 1.5” folding Buck skinning knife. I have always approached slow gun ready, and tossed a stick at the deer to see if there’s a flinch when it hits. Then touch the eye for final verification, then start in cutting. As for med supplies, a tourniquet, some hemostatic bandages, and an Israeli bandage arent that heavy but they are certainly worth having. A TQ can keep you from bleeding out long enough to call for help if you have communication. A hemostatic bandage is basically gauze imbued with QuikClot, which helps stop bleeding while not burning horribly like the old QuikClot powder (and that stuff is supposedly annoying for EMS to clean out). An Israeli bandage is about 4 feet of stretchy cloth like material with a clip on one end that works as a stand-alone pressure bandage and is ideal for extremity wounds. So, a deep knife stab to the leg that doesn’t sever the femoral artery (like someone mentioned in this thread) would be treatable with a hemostatic bandage shoved in the hole and an Israeli bandage wrapped tight as hell around the leg. Do it right and you can walk out of a bad spot while the bandage keeps pressure on the wound for you. It’s seriously worth the minimal investment to buy a few survival aids like this. [/QUOTE]
